Research Notes on Basic Yoga Poses
The practice of yoga is exercising both your body and your mind. As with regular exercise, start with easy poses to condition your body for the more difficult ones that follow. As little as 15 minutes of exercising and 15 minutes of breathing and meditation each day can yield benefits.
Fast Facts:
- Each pose can be repeated up to 3 times.
- Each pose helps balance the different muscle groups.
- Sitting poses are easier than standing postures.
